Itinerary description
Although it has Geopark designation and spectacular leucocratic gneiss exposures, there is not the usual abundance of geological information. The focus is on the unique shapes and settings of rock formations, and their association with legend and myth.
The general walking sections are easy, only 3 to 4 km. Plenty of snacks and refreshments along the way.
If taking the gondola there is a moderately difficult climb over 100 meters from the top station to the peak pavillion.
Entrance Fees.
